Chicago, July 15. The , faint hope of a (settlement of the Freight Handlers' strike entertained this forenoon was dissipated shortly after noon, when President Curran received word that the Northwestern, the Erie and tSante Fe roads had refused to entertain the compromise proposed in petitions pre sented by ' committees of the strikers. There was only the ' barest possibility that the other roads might prove less firm, for it had been repeatedly stated that the roads would take identical ac tion. However, the Northwestern, the Walbash and the Wisconsin Central roads told the ccanimittes to return later dn ithe day. It was ibelieved the day was 'wanted in order that the con ferences might be had with the other roads. The Erie and Sante Fe man agements told the men they "would ac cept no other settlement , than-that pro posed July 1. The proposition made by the commit tees to managers was that the scale of July 1 be adopted plus the following important concessions: ,1 Elimination of the tenm of proba tion" before advances should ibe effect ive. - 2 Straight time for over time for employes charged for loss of time., 3 Seventeen and one-half cents an hour- for (truckers . , " , By noon the good effects of the pres ence of President Young, of the team-? sters' union, in1 the city was apparent; Through the efforts of Mr. Young, the teamsters working for iSouithi. Water street commission firms were persuaded to carry perishaible freight from the "straight" cars. By "straight" cars is meant cars containing one kind of freight only and consigned to one -firm. The objection of the teamsters to handling freight touched by the non union men now in the warehouses was overcome by having the teamsters take the freight direct from the cars themselves.

Chicago, July 15. Eight hundred policqpnen ,weye held in readiness at down town stations or at the railroad warehouses this morning in anticipa tion of a (possible attempt to raise the embargo on freight, occasioned by the freight handlers' strike and the sym pathetic walk-out of .the teamsters.

Business conditions this morning were the same as yesterday, only a little worse in South Water street where the bad effects of the strike have been felt most severely. The ware houses were almost deserted save for the police, who stood between the ware houses and the pickets. The full membership of the state board of arbitration, headed by Presi dent Job, held a meeting this morning at which it was planned .to resume ac tive efforts towards conciliation, as di rected by" Governor Yates yesterday. A continuance of the strike threatens to tie up building operations in the city. Several cars of brick were on the track today where they have been for some time. The supply comes in day by day and it is said that the present supply will last only a little time possibly not more than twenty-four hours. Busi ness Agent Hanks, of the Brickmakers' union, declared that should the freight handlers continue to refuse permission to move the brick from the freight yards between 10,000 and 20,000 building men would be out of wcrk within a Week. Some of the merchants prepared to move freight this forenoon, while the majority preferred to wait in hope of a settlement. South Water street men called a meeting to confer with repre sentatives of the teamsters and seek means to get their goods started. an field before him.
